A Westbury woman was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated with a child in the car yesterday in Williston Park at 4:45 p.m.

According to police, while driving on Hillside Avenue a Third Squad detective was informed by a passing motorist of a possible intoxicated driver. The detective came upon a 2012 Toyota Camry stopped westbound on Hillside Avenue with the front right wheel up on the curb and the engine running. Upon investigation the detective discovered the driver Danielle Kalberer, 34, of Westbury slumped over in the driver’s seat with a three year old female child secured in a car seat in the rear of the vehicle. Third Precinct Officers responded to assist and placed Kalberer under arrest at which time it was discovered that Kalberer was in possession of a single prescription narcotic pill. The child was released to a family member and no injuries were reported.
